Terms and Conditions
Last updated: 8 February 2026
§ 1 Scope
These Terms and Conditions (hereinafter “Terms”) apply to the use of the website aidetego.com and all related services (hereinafter “AIDetego” or “Service”), operated by Tom Silas Helmke (hereinafter “Provider”).
By using AIDetego, you agree to these Terms. Deviating conditions of the user are not recognised unless the Provider expressly agrees to their validity in writing.
These Terms apply in their current version at any given time. The Provider reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time without giving reasons. The current version is always available on this page.
§ 2 Service Description
AIDetego is a free, browser-based service for statistically analysing texts for characteristics that may indicate creation by Artificial Intelligence (AI). Text analysis is performed entirely in the user’s browser (client-side). No entered texts are transmitted to or stored on the Provider’s servers.
The service is offered in different tiers:
- Free: No cost, no registration required, limited analyses per day
- Pro: Extended features for a monthly fee
- API: Programmatic access for a monthly fee
The service is financed through advertising (Google AdSense). The display of advertising is an integral part of the free offering.
§ 3 Registration and User Account
Use of the Free tier does not require registration. Creating a user account is required for paid tiers.
The user is obliged to provide truthful and complete information during registration and to keep their access data confidential. The user is liable for all activities that take place under their user account.
The Provider reserves the right to suspend or delete user accounts at any time and without prior notice in the event of a violation of these Terms.
§ 4 Pro Subscription and Payments
AIDetego is a free service funded through advertising (Google AdSense). All core features are available without payment.
The subscription renews automatically for one additional month unless cancelled before the end of the respective term. Cancellation is possible at any time effective at the end of the current billing period.
In the event of a price change, the user will be informed at least 30 days before the change takes effect. The user has a special right of cancellation in this case.
§ 5 Use at Own Risk
All information is provided without warranty. The service is provided “as is” without any express or implied warranties.
The Provider makes no warranty whatsoever regarding:
- The accuracy, completeness or reliability of analysis results
- The uninterrupted or error-free availability of the service
- The fitness of the service for any particular purpose
- The currency of the detection algorithms used
Use of the service is entirely at the user’s own risk. The user is solely responsible for the interpretation and use of the results.
§ 6 Disclaimer – Important Notice
The results of the AI detector represent only a statistical probability assessment and are not proof for or against the use of AI. The operator assumes no liability for decisions made based on these results.
No AI detector – including AIDetego – can determine with certainty whether a text was written by a human or an AI. The analysis results are statistical estimates based on linguistic patterns and do not constitute definitive statements.
The Provider assumes no liability whatsoever for:
- Decisions made based on the analysis results
- Academic consequences (e.g. failing grades, expulsion, accusations of cheating)
- Legal consequences (e.g. contractual disputes, copyright claims)
- Professional consequences (e.g. termination, warnings, reputational damage)
- Financial damages of any kind
- False positive results (human text classified as AI-generated)
- False negative results (AI text classified as human-written)
The operator shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from the use or inability to use the service, regardless of the legal basis (contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise).
The above disclaimer does not apply to damages arising from injury to life, body or health, or to damages based on intentional or grossly negligent conduct by the Provider. Liability for slight negligence is excluded unless essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) are breached. In this case, liability is limited to the foreseeable, contract-typical damage.
§ 7 Accuracy and Limitations of Analysis
The analysis results of AIDetego are based on statistical methods, linguistic patterns and heuristic procedures. They do not constitute legally binding statements and do not replace human review.
The user acknowledges that:
- Results may vary depending on text length, language, subject matter and writing style
- No AI detector can guarantee a 100% detection rate
- The capabilities of AI language models are constantly evolving and may make detection more difficult
- Edited, paraphrased or partially AI-generated texts may not be reliably detected
- Results are not suitable as sole evidence of academic fraud or plagiarism
Results should always be considered as one indicator among many and supplemented by human judgement.
§ 8 User Responsibility
The user is solely responsible for the texts they enter into the service. The Provider assumes no responsibility for the content of entered texts.
The user warrants that they are authorised to analyse the entered texts and that the analysis does not infringe any third-party rights (in particular copyrights, personality rights or trade secrets).
The user shall indemnify the Provider against all third-party claims arising from unlawful use of the service by the user.
§ 9 Data Protection and Data Processing
The protection of your data is our highest priority. Text analysis is performed entirely in the user’s browser. Entered texts are never transmitted to, stored on or logged by the Provider’s servers.
Specifically:
- All 16 analysis modules run locally in the browser (JavaScript/WebAssembly)
- Entered texts never leave the user’s browser
- No texts are stored or processed server-side
- Cookies are used exclusively for essential functions and – with consent – for Google AdSense advertising
- Without cookie consent, only context-based advertising is displayed
Detailed information on the processing of personal data can be found in our Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy is an integral part of these Terms.
§ 10 Intellectual Property and Copyright
All content, designs, logos, software and other materials on AIDetego are protected by copyright and are the property of the Provider or licensed third parties.
The analysis algorithms and modules are the intellectual property of the Provider. Decompilation, reverse engineering or other reproduction of the analysis methods is prohibited.
The user is granted a simple, non-transferable, revocable right of use for the services within the scope of the respective tier. This right of use expires upon termination of use or cancellation of the tier.
§ 11 Usage Rules
The user undertakes not to misuse the service. In particular, the following is prohibited:
- Automated mass queries (scraping, botting) without API access
- Circumvention of technical protection measures or usage restrictions
- Use of the service for unlawful purposes
- Sharing access credentials with third parties
- Excessive strain on the infrastructure
- Attempting to deliberately manipulate or falsify analysis results
§ 12 Availability, Changes and Discontinuation of Service
The Provider endeavours to provide the service as uninterruptedly as possible. 100% availability cannot be technically guaranteed. There is no entitlement to uninterrupted availability.
The Provider expressly reserves the right to:
- Modify, expand or restrict the service in whole or in part at any time
- Temporarily or permanently discontinue the service
- Add or remove features
- Amend these Terms at any time
Registered users will be informed of material changes to these Terms by email. Continued use of the service after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
§ 13 Applicable Law and Jurisdiction
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with these Terms is – to the extent legally permissible – Bonn, Germany.
If the user is a consumer within the meaning of Section 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB), the mandatory consumer protection provisions of the state in which the user has their habitual residence shall apply if they are more favourable to the user.
§ 14 Final Provisions
Should individual provisions of these Terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes closest to the economic purpose of the invalid provision (severability clause).
There are no oral side agreements. Amendments and additions to these Terms require text form.
The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR):
https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/
The Provider is neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
